Perhaps change it to "If you defeat Tower Guards 1 and 2, ..."?
Or, "If you defeat the first two Tower Guards" or "...the first pair of
Tower Guards..."
So weve gone from having to win 1 round of combat until gaining the CS
bonus, to defeating 1 opponent, to defeating 2 opponents?
You fight Tower Guards 1 and 2 as one opponent, so it's not like you could
defeat Tower Guard 1 without defeating Tower Guard 2.
If we left it at literally winning one round of combat, that seems like an
unfair result. Would Sogh really refuse you join you if you take more
damage than the tower guards in the first round of combat even if you then
dispatch them?

I see, i see (should have really read the section).
I dont get what "win one round of combat" means - I would assume any
round that youre not killed (automatically or otherwise) is a "win".
Alternatively, the way i read your post winning the round means you deal
more damage than you take for that round (in this case, what happens in
a tie?)
Personally i dont care either way, unless Im missing something, youre
fighting with a sword (no penalty to CS) so the worst Combat Ratio you
can have is -7 which equates to a 40% chance of dealing more damage than
the enemy (and a 0% chance of auto-death) increasing by 10% for every 2
CS above rock bottom you are - so still fairly good odds.
If you want a motive, all thats standing between sogh and getting
stabbed by 6 guards, is you. If I were Sogh, Id jump in after one round
if the other guy didnt die straight away :)
"If you defeat Tower Guards 1 and 2" seems like the least ambiguous and
uses less characters than the other alternatives (so unambiguity per
letter ratio is higher).
